The performance running roots of the 2002R take center stage, in a special-edition design inspired by the original, 2010 MR2002. Signature New Balance grey is applied to construction that combines technical sleekness and a crafted attention to detail. The breathable mesh upper, patterned after the M2040 silhouette, is overlaid with nubuck, hairy suede, and thick, textured leather, and features a raised bump textured leather and mesh tongue. A waxing treatment applied to this luxe material mix creates a weathered, vintage inspired look. The M2002RVA features a unique, functional addition, a detachable zip-closure mesh pouch, for storing small objects like keys and coins.
